I use Nero and have no problems. Have you tried another writing another dvd incase it was a faulty one?

What about making an action in photoshop to help with time?

I think thats a great B&W conversion Danzaroonie. I also use the green filter but also use other filers but mask them out over the people so I can change the background if the green filter doesn't give the effect I want on the whole image. I also dodge the highlighted areas and burn the dark...

Usually for printing I have a few prints and then match my screen up to them as then hopefully your future prints will look how you wish them to be. This only works if you use the same printer all the time. If you don't then I usually brighten my image as they tend to print darker than what's...

I don't know if it'll be possible but I keep looking at the hair over her cheek because it's seperate from the rest of her hair. Her face looks good as it's easy to over do it and make people look plastic and it looks like you've warmed her skin tone which is more flattering.

Like people have said the best chance you'll have is with the save for web. It tells you in the bottom left the size the file will be when saved. So you can change the quality until you get the file size you want.

This is my quick go. I used a slight vignette, dodged the cyclist and burned the background, then used curves to give it a bit more punch and sharpened.

I think to get a more flattering background will take an awful long time to edit. I know how to edit but even I'd find this hard to do. I'd suggest it'd be easier to reshoot this idea with a different background.

I've got the Sigma 105mm and am really happy with it. I've never used the MPE-65 but trying to focus with 105mm without a tripod (I should really use one but bugs seem to move quicker then me with a tripod) is really tricky at the full 1:1. So I'd suggest starting with a macro lens and see how...

I had a Sekonic 308S until it was stolen and to be honest I rarely used it. Yes it was great in the studio to tell you your setting and the power difference from each light but for how much they cost I can sort my lights out in usually 3 shots. But if you were getting one I would recommend...

I've the cheap (£15) ones and they do work well. The down side is focusing is really difficult and fiddly. The depth of field is also so tiny that unless you get it right most of your image will be blurred. But I loved mine and have since upgraded to a macro lens as I learnt it was something I...

I know you won't be able to use it on camera but a old film flash and radio triggers work well for off camera and are cheap. My friend has the 580 EXII and two 430 EXII but they have to be facing the 580 EXII to actually fire which can cause problems getting them to work in the direction you...

I had this problem with my old 40D. It was 5 months old and I had to fight with the canon rep to get him to exchange it as it was intermittent. He did eventually get me a new one but even this one after 2 1/2 years does it very occationally.
